The woman is Leavitt's nephew's mother but is estranged from her child. She has no real relationship to Leavitt.
The real story here is that she was a DACA kid with one arrest for battery, the legal outcome of which is unclear. Obviously "the worst of the worst".
I don’t think that’s correct I’ve read accounts stating she was involved in the child’s life. What I read was that the brother and her were engaged until he won a million dollars from Draft Kings. Her family put up a go fund me but I’d be skeptical that the Leavitt family A) didn’t have anything to do with this and B) didn’t screw her over because they could afford an attorney and she couldn’t. Our system isn’t exactly fair https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-brunas-fight-to-stay-home
Oh, I have no doubt that the Leavitt's might use ICE as a weapon against someone inconvenient. The article makes nothing clear, though.
